Well, since there's already quite a bit of stuff out = that _needs_
the new font selection scheme (e.g., AmSLaTeX, = PostScript
support, etc.) to work and people aren't using these = things, not
because they don't want to, but because installing an = add-on like
lfonts.new breaks things that shouldn't get broken = (letter.sty,
